Phillip A. Griffiths Quotes

I Entered Princeton University As A Graduate Student In 1959, When The Department Of Mathematics Was Housed In The Old Fine Hall. This Legendary Facility Was Marvellous In Stimulating Interaction Among The Graduate Students And Between The Graduate Students And The Faculty. The Faculty Offered Few Formal Courses, And Essentially None Of Them Were At The Beginning Graduate Level. Instead The Students Were Expected To Learn The Necessary Background Material By Reading Books And Papers And By Organising Seminars Among Themselves. It Was A Stimulating Environment But Not An Easy One For A Student Like Me, Who Had Come With Only A Spotty Background. Fortunately I Had An Excellent Group Of Classmates, And In Retrospect I Think The "Princeton Method" Of That Period Was Quite Effective.
